Reviews portray Cuisine Coréenne Cocodak as a popular downtown Korean spot with a broad menu, where fried chicken, beef galbi, bibimbap, tteokbokki, and dumplings draw strong praise, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient; the atmosphere is described as relaxed and welcoming, making it suitable for dates or larger groups, while portions are generous and the flavors authentically Korean, with many noting enjoyable textures and a comforting variety of dishes. Some feedback points to rising prices and occasional value concerns, a few diners mentioning oily notes or that certain items could be spicier, and comments that the cleanliness or ambiance may not be the strongest aspect; overall, a reliable go-to that delivers a solid experience and offers the chance to explore a wide range of Korean flavors.
Amazing Korean fried chicken in downtown. Loved the spicy Korean fried chicken, although it was not spicy at all it was more sweet. We did ask for extra spicy but it's fine it was still really good. The breading layer was thing & the chicken was really juicy, would go again for sure. We also had the beef galbi plate from the sharing section. It was a bit pricier but worth the price. It has a lot of beef, very generous. The flavour was as expected but it was a bit too oily to my liking. Overall solid place, would go again for the fried chicken & discover something new on the menu.
the chicken is expensive for its size. the bits were so tiny. never come here. oh & the other dishes are small too. so sad that asian cuisine is exploited like this overseas.

We lived in Montreal till 2022 & this was a regular place we ate at. Went back for the first time a few weeks ago, & this place still rocks. Food is good & the fried chicken is 💯💯 Highly recommended & keep going here to keep this place up & running!!
Excellent service! We were a group of 5 & had 2 wait staff taking great care of us!!! They were very kind, polite, professional & extremely efficient!!!✨✨✨✨✨
We ordered a whole fried chicken, seafood crêpe, beef with sweet potato noodles, daikon, kimchi & cole slaw sides & a regular corean sushi. Everything was exceptional! We were all full & very happy with our choices! Great for a date night but also great for groups because you can choose more of a variety of dishes on the menu to share.
A very pleasant & delicious evening had by all!!!
😋😋😋😋😋

I ordered a bibimbap, a seafood pancake, & sweet-spicy fried chicken.
All there were served quickly within 10 mins, & were very delicious!
The bibimbap was savory & fresh.
The seafood pancake was crunchy, not oily, the shrimp & octopus slices were perfectly cooked but tender.
The fried chicken had a leg piece, wings & breasts. All 4 pieces were crunchy, the sauce was great & not too salty, the meat was very tender on all pieces.
Everything including the free appetizers (kimchi, etc.) were perfect. My complements to the great chefs!
Came here on a Friday around 18:30. Some patrons already eating, plenty of room still. Staff was nice, answered questions, managed an allergy to shellfish among some in our party. All pleasant to interact with. When asked How spicy is the Sweet & Spicy Chicken, the staffer answered 3/10-& that was quite accurate in hindsight. It'd be appreciated that healthier non-alcoholic drink options be offered (& not only the 2 high sugar beverages on the menu as of 2025/05/08).
I'll try to make it back again. Hope this review helps others!
Ordered on uber eats two different times… really good bulgog & fried chicken… but what I truly LOVED was the kimchi. DAYUMMM it was delicious! I even mixed the leftover juice & mixed it with mayo… nothing went to waste lol! Thanks!

Always great at cocodak I've been here 2 times & both service were very nice & smiled. The atmosphere was always clam when we went which was nice. Now the food was great I had the honey mustard chicken I think & my gf got something else & we shared a nice drink the chicken was a solid 7.5-8 & great her food was good too like a 6.8 & overall an enjoyable experience everytime thank you cocodak!(A little pricy though)
The best Korean restaurant I've ever been to! The menu is full of variety, especially their crispy fried chicken with a range of rich, flavorful sauces. My favorite is the bibimbap with fried chicken drumsticks just thinking about it makes me want to go back!
The restaurant is spacious, making it perfect for meals with family or friends. The dishes are beautifully presented, with vibrant colors that make them even more appetizing. It's a place where you can explore a wide selection of Korean flavors. Truly unforgettable! ❤?
My friend & I ordered rice cake skewers, deep fried chicken dumplings, cheesy corn, the army stew & the bulgogi with rice. Every item was better than the other, & we were already talking about coming back to try other items on the menu. This place is great for a sharing style dining where you go in with a small group & order a few different dishes ro share. The service was quick & friendly. Definitely a place I'd recommend to others ♡♡
Try the brunch in sunday morning. The food is not that wow like i expect , but specially the pancake & chicken are good. Moka is perfect. The miso cod is little bit bland, the rest is ok for the price.

Korean style chicken is amazing! My kids like your chicken. & there's severs are kind. When I ask something to them they notice it quickly. Exactly there is good restraint.
Most refreshing & authentic korean dish for the summer : Naeng myeon ❤️ 1000/10 Pair it with your favorite dish & it's 😘 Teokbokki is savory & delicious 10/10 Fried chicken balls were my overcooked & dry :/ 5/10
Food at the restaurant is reasonably priced. I would not suggest ordering the pot (which includes ramen, tteokbokki, & fish cake) the only flavour I could taste in it was Gochujang. It was too sweet for me & my friends. I really liked their soy garlic chicken but the spicy chicken with cheese.
Very disappointed 😞 the fried chicken was one of the worst korean fried chicken I ever had, so dry it was almost unedible. The seafood pancake is the reason I gave a 2 stars , I guess it saved the day to avoid the 1 star review.
Cocodak is a place that has been on my list for a very long time & I'm sad to say,I was disappointed with my experience there.As an appetizer,we received a spicy cabbage salad & some radish...neither were enjoyable,it didn't feel like much effort was put into the appetizer.My second appetizer was some Sweet & Spicy Boneless chicken,which was also underwhelming,the inside of the chicken felt dry & overcooked,but as a consolation,I did enjoy the crispiness of the outside.My entree was Spicy Small Octopus With Rice,the flavouring that they added i the stir fry was delicious,but the baby octopus itself was rubbery & took a long time to chew. 2/5 The service we received was just okay.The staff catered to us when needed. 3/5 My experience at the restaurant wasn't very pleasant.For one,we were seated right near the door & each & every time someone opened the door,this rush of cold wind would brush against my legs & back.We then requested to move to a different table,this time the table was near the window & although the view of the snow falling on St Catherine was beautiful,our mesmerization wouldn't last long as the windows let cold air seep in again.Not to mention,the seating areas felt a little cramped,it's as if we were sitting at one table with other people. 1/5
